Confirmed from Buckeye Hills Regional Park's own listing, the park or land manager's website, and runner reviews. Blank cells mean we could not verify that fact — we would rather say "not reported" than invent one. There is no Easy / Moderate / Hard rating on this page on purpose: a one-word difficulty score tells you nothing about whether a trail suits your run. Surface, distance, shade and hours do.
What runners say about Buckeye Hills Regional Park
“There are some campsites with tables, shade structures and fire pits.”
“Nice peaceful place with a good view of the surrounding landscape and multiple covered picnic areas and a few small grills to have a nice outdoor hangout.”
Camping is free which is nice. There are some campsites with tables, shade structures and fire pits. If you want to hike you will need to blaze your own trail.
Hopefully they open this developed picnic area to overnight camping in the near future, I'll give it 5 stars when they do. Located a few miles South of Robins Butte Wildlife Area when heading South on AZ85. Numerous sites with shaded tables, BBQ's, restrooms.
